Plunder the Heavens from American Comics

Chapter 185 Empty Shell Doll
"Come with me. My room is here." Following the village chief's instructions, Ivy led Jonathan to her room.

"The conditions in the village are not very good, so please be particular about your treatment as a guest." There was a complex meaning in Ivy's voice.

Because he couldn't use telepathy, Jonathan wasn't sure what she was thinking at the moment.

The two came to the outside of a thatched hut.

Mottled walls and messy straw.

Creak (the sound of a wooden door opening)
Ivy pushed open the wooden door, walked in and put down the lantern in her hand.

After lighting the candles on the table, Ivy blew out the lantern in her hand.

"Guest, let us take a rest." There was a hint of desire in Ivy's eyes.

There seemed to be something about Jonathan that attracted her.

"Okay, our game is over. This isn't an ordinary village, is it?"

After Ivy closed the door, Jonathan immediately used telekinesis to control Ivy.

Even though he was greatly weakened, Jonathan was still able to control a weak woman.

Feeling her limbs being restrained by some force, Ivy looked at Jonathan with even more excitement.

"Great! Great!" Ivy murmured.

"Now, let me see what tricks you are playing." Jonathan walked in front of Ivy and pinched her cheek.

Jonathan waved his left hand and the Sage's Blade in the space bracelet was taken out.

Placing the scabbard against the girl's chest, Jonathan slowly drew out the blade.

Ok?
After Jonathan activated the refining array, he found that the Sage's Blade did not respond at all.

Is alchemy also suppressed in this world?
In that case, Jonathan put the Sage's Blade back into the space bracelet.

But Ivy still looked at Jonathan with fascination, as if she didn't care at all that Jonathan was controlling her actions.

Even a blush gradually appeared on her face.

"Since the Sage's Blade can't be used, let's just start plundering." Jonathan thought to himself.

So he switched to the super body state, and his brain was overclocked in an instant.

This world doesn't seem to have any particular suppression on the super body state.

Jonathan didn't waste any time and stretched out his right hand and pressed it on Ivy's forehead.

He activated his plundering ability, targeting her memory.

As long as we can see clearly into this woman's memory, we should be able to get some information no matter what.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened.

Jonathan found that this woman's brain was like an empty shell, with nothing inside.

Whether it's personality, memory, or soul.

It's like a puppet with only a shell.

"What's going on! Why do you have no memory?!" Jonathan looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief.

Through Jonathan's fingers, Ivy showed a weird smile, and then her eyes gradually turned cold.

"Memory? How can I be worthy of such a precious thing? Hehehe... Hehehe..."

Ivy let out a weird laugh.

Everything in this world made Jonathan feel creepy.

Something is wrong, something is totally wrong with this world.

"Guest, please don't go crazy. Your soul is a great treasure in this world."

Ivy spoke to Jonathan in a slightly morbid tone, and giggled as she finished speaking.

Suddenly, the girl's eyeballs seemed to be squeezed by something.

With a plop, the eyeball fell to the ground.

Beetles crawled out of the empty eye sockets.

After crawling out of Ivy's eye sockets, these beetles quickly crawled towards the place where Jonathan exerted his telekinesis on her.

After the insects arrived at the location, they opened their jaws and began to gnaw on Jonathan's telekinesis.

With every bite from these bugs, Jonathan felt an intense stinging pain in his head.

Jonathan had never seen such a strange attack method before.

Subconsciously, he withdrew the telekinesis he had used on Ivy.

After regaining her freedom, Ivy rubbed her stiff arms and feet, then squatted down and picked up the eyeball from the ground.

Put it back into its eye socket.

I don't know where she took out a mirror from, and looking at herself in the mirror, Ivy adjusted her eyes slightly.

Straighten the slanted pupil.

"What the hell are you!" Jonathan asked Ivy, covering his painful forehead with his right hand.

"Me? I'm just an ordinary puppet." Ivy said, revealing a smile that looked sweet but full of weirdness.

Ding! Ding! Ding! (Several loud bell sounds are heard from a distance.)
Hearing the sound, Ivy frowned, then walked to the window, opened it and looked at the sky.

"Tsk, time flies by so fast."

After cursing unhappily, Ivy turned to Jonathan, winked and said, "Honey, see you tomorrow night~"

After saying that, she blew a kiss to Jonathan.

Then, the originally dark sky suddenly became bright.

The moment the sunlight shone on Ivy, her figure suddenly became translucent.

Then it gradually faded until it completely disappeared from Jonathan's sight.

Looking at the place where Ivy disappeared, Jonathan touched his chin.

"Is sunlight their nemesis?" Jonathan suddenly thought of the UV bullet production line that he had snatched back from the Underworld.

That thing has been put aside for a long time, it looks like it will come in handy this time.

But it was just daybreak, so Jonathan was in no hurry.

After he left Ivy's room, he found that everything outside became clear.

But none of the people I saw in the village last night were there.

Including the village chief and the gatekeeper named Ike.

Arriving at the entrance of the village, Jonathan saw the road sign.

There are three place names on it.

They are Despair Town, Shadow Town, and Seaside Post Office.

Shadow Town was where he and Ivy met yesterday.

The whole town was empty at the time, and now when Jonathan thinks back on it, he wonders if it will be the same as this village when the sun rises.

The people in the town will appear, and when the sun sets, the people in the town will disappear?

To confirm this idea.

Jonathan took out a multi-terrain motorcycle from the space bracelet.

Fortunately, electricity can still be used as usual in this world. After getting on the electric motorcycle, Jonathan left in the direction of Shadow Town.

Jonathan was obviously riding a much faster bike than he had walked last night.

Soon, he arrived in the town. As expected, there were people coming and going in the town.

He even went back to the alley he was in yesterday and found that those drunkards who were like zombies had disappeared without a trace.

But seeing the marks on the ground, Jonathan could be sure that the drunk man sitting here yesterday did exist.

Jonathan, confused about the situation, decided to go to the street and ask someone what was going on in the world.

It's just too weird.

Just now, after Jonathan rode his electric motorcycle into Shadow Town, he attracted the attention of many townspeople.

Watching Jonathan enter an alley that the locals would never enter, the residents of the town all showed looks of panic.

But after a while, when Jonathan came out of the box again, the residents of the town looked at him with surprise.

Jonathan didn't understand the looks from the townspeople.

"Uncle, why are you looking at me like that?"

Seeing this, Jonathan simply found the uncle closest to him and asked.

The uncle who ran the fruit stall seemed frightened when he saw Jonathan talking to him.

But he did not answer Jonathan's question. Instead, he treated Jonathan as air. Even when his eyes swept across Jonathan, he deliberately pretended not to see it.

"Hey, uncle. Can't you hear me?" Jonathan stretched out his hand and waved in front of the uncle.

Obviously, after I finished speaking, I could tell from the uncle's micro-expression that he definitely saw me, but I didn't know why.

He seemed blind to his own choices.

"Kuruk, how about the fruit today?" At this time, an aunt came to Jonathan.

She was just like the fruit merchant named Kuruk, as if she didn't notice Jonathan's existence.

But the sweat on her forehead betrayed her inner panic at the moment.

"Ah, Elena, it's so early today."

It seemed that Elena's arrival saved Kuruk's life, and he immediately began to talk to Elena enthusiastically.

The topics were all trivial and insignificant.

"Give up. Even if they see us, they won't talk to us." Suddenly, a childish voice sounded in Jonathan's ears.

Jonathan looked down and saw a little girl in ragged clothes, about ten years old.

When he saw the little girl's face clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Athena? Why are you here!?"

The little girl's face is exactly the same as Athena in the dimensional world.

Jonathan asked subconsciously.

"Huh? How do you know my name? I clearly don't know you." Athena looked at Jonathan suspiciously.

After hearing these words, Jonathan realized that the Athena in front of him did not recognize him.

But this voice and this appearance are exactly like Athena.

So who is she?
Jonathan had wanted to ask this question many times since he came into this world.

"It doesn't matter, just follow me. Don't stand next to them on the street. Otherwise, they won't be able to return to their own world and will haunt you."

After saying that, Athena walked towards the alley without waiting for Jonathan to react.

I saw Athena walking towards the box I just came out of.

Jonathan didn't hesitate and followed him.

The townspeople on the main street breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Jonathan and Athena return to the alley.

Among them, Kuruk and Elena were the most relaxed.

In the dark alley, even when the sun is high in the sky, the tall buildings on both sides block most of the sunlight.

This causes shadows to appear everywhere in the box.

"Tell me. How did you come to this world?" Athena seemed to see that Jonathan was not a native of this world.

He asked directly.

"Athena, do you know about the dimensional world?" Jonathan asked instead of answering Athena's question.

Athena heard this, looked at Jonathan, and then shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.

Seeing that the other party didn't know, Jonathan touched his chin, not figuring out what was going on.

Under the guidance of Athena, Jonathan came to a place similar to a slum.

It's very messy, narrow and dark here.

But compared to the town outside, the people here seem much more natural.

After seeing Jonathan, they all looked at him without any concealment, unlike those people outside just now, who wanted to see him but didn't dare to.

Seeing the wooden door in front of the house nearby, Jonathan grabbed Athena's hand.

"Athena, wait."

After saying that, Jonathan pulled her to a door nearby, silently chanting in his heart to connect to the other dimensional world.

Then he opened someone else's door.

At the moment of connecting to the dimensional door, a purple-red light appeared in the door frame.

"Do you have any impression of this place?" Jonathan asked, pointing at the dimension world.

Athena looked at Jonathan strangely after hearing this, then stuck her head into the dimension world to take a look.

"Of course, this is William's home. Do you know him?" Athena looked at Jonathan in confusion.

I don't know why he suddenly opened someone else's door.

Jonathan: “???”

Who is William?

Jonathan was puzzled.

Then he realized that Athena did not see the scene in the dimensional world!
Since she couldn't see it, Jonathan simply closed the dimensional gate.

At this time, the young man in the house came out.

"Who are you? Why did you open the door of my house?" William looked at Jonathan with confusion, just like Athena.

"Athena? Is this your friend?" After walking out, William saw Athena behind Jonathan.

So he asked.

Athena shook her head.

"I saw him outside. It seemed like he also came into this world for some inexplicable reason. And like us, he was treated like air by the locals."

"Oh, I see." William looked at Jonathan and continued, "Hello, my name is William James."

William said and stretched out his right hand.

Jonathan shook his hand.

"Do you have any information about this place?" From the conversation between the two, Jonathan also understood that they were not from this world either.

"As far as I know, this world is divided into two layers. One layer is full of terrifying monsters, and the other layer is full of ordinary people. They will experience alternating phenomena at sunrise and sunset. As for the others, I am not very clear."

In response to Jonathan's questions, William enthusiastically told him the information he knew.
